Re: Crazy idea - a KVM-SMAPI interface?

[Rick Troth]

dude ... lack of inflection ... irony lost.

It's a good idea. I was trying to hint that you might get more traction
by turning it around: instead of driving KVM via SMAPI, drive z/VM via
LIBVIRT.

Thanks to all who replied.

I guess KVM and z/VM are just apples and oranges.

We explored this many years ago and attempted to map libvirt API to SMAPI.

Do the z/VM Cloud Manager Appliance (CMA) and xCAT provide what you need?

insane!

That's almost as crazy as a LIBVIRT interface to z/VM.
